Run

Run by Ann Patchett

Bernard Doyle is the father of three boys, Sullivan, the oldest is his biological son and two much younger sons, Tip and Teddy, who are biological brothers that he and his wife adopted as babies. Soon after the adoption, his wife passes away. This story takes place many years later when the two youngest boys are 20 and 21. Bernard is very passionate about politices and none of the boys share that interest. Tip and Bernard get in an argument about his desire for them to be involved with politics, which leads to an accident and a discovery that will change their future.

This is the first book I have read by Ann Patchett, she was able to develop characters that were interesting and that you cared about and wanted to be successful. I thought it was a very good read. Unfortunately, she would occasionally use words that were not at all necessary and offensive.
